Patriot and Unim this morning. Yes !'most e mthatically, YES! It ie a his torical fact, that the States which firstmoved in the secessi. n treason never lesta slave by the influence of abolitionism. .South Carolina never lost fifty negroes by the underground railroad—her less consisted in,those . who were ft tyed alive at their own whipping posts. For thirty years, the leading men in the S mth have been secretly pi eparing for the rebellion in which they are now engaged. Their preparations were never more actively mule than when the Democratic party, (which means the South,) was in power. No man of sense or fairness will attempt to assert that the Abolition party ever amounted even to a ri spect able organization, so far as numbers were con cerned, in the North. !he prestige which it possessed, was given to it by the abuse heaped upon it by the Democratic press of the North. That abuse was uttered and printed as a trick to mislert i d the people of the South—to play on their fears—to arouse their prejudices, and to intensify their Democracy. Slavery and De mocracy thus being the same, so far as politi cal power was concerned, one supported the other just so long as mutual benefits were de rived from the association. The South stuck to the Democratic party while the power of that organization contributed to the safety of slavery; 'and the Democracy stuck to slavery, as a means of maintaining a national influence through the force and .the votes of the slave Slates. But at the proper hour, when the corrnpttfins of the Democratic party had rtached their greatest extent duriug the administration of James Buchanan, awl when the south had prepared fully to rebel, then the cry was raised in the north, by those who had allowed themselves to be used as tools in furthering that rebellion, that the result was due to abo litionism. This was done to hide their own shame—to conceal the part which Democracy had played-in the initial preparations for tree son. Eveu after the bogus Confederate gov ernment was organized, and when it was thought that its success was certain, such Demo crats as Vice President Stephens boldly declared that the revolution (i. a rebellion) of the south was not against abolitioni-m, because that was deemed an insignificant pow-r. The southern people struck at the Union, heeatise they de spised the government controlling the Union— because they contemned northern society, with its equalities and freedom—and because they desired a government based entirely on the foundation of slavery, not only of newer sla very, but of that slavery which forces all labor into a condition of vassalage. —But, what is the profit of seeking to prove to a dough-face Democrat, that Democracy, ask. is represented by the influences which control negro slavery, is the cause of this rebellion? We make nothing by the effort, simply because the men who cling to the Democratic party most zealously, are those who also cling to sla very and the efforts of the slave power to de stroy the American Union.. Until the uphol ders and defenders of ;slavery took part in the polities of the country, the Democratic party was without force or power. Hand in -hand, American Democracy and American slavery have progressed and triumphed. In the South, slavery extended our boundaries by aggressive warfare, that territory might be stolen out of which to form new slave states. In the north, Democracy waged a crusade on free labor, refusin4 it pm teetion and leaving it open to the competition of foreign pauper industry, that the slave power might be left to a cheap living and an easy aggrandizement. And yet, according to the Pariot, abolitionlem created this war ! It is wonderful Because a tree people no longer could submit to the outages heaped on them by degenerate Democatio politicians and aristocratic slave holders, they are guilty of creating a war ! On the same principle, those who enacted a law against murder, are guilty of murder themselves, every time an assassin la banged for his crime. How IT Wonns.—A gentleman just from the South informs the Indianapolis Journal that the rebel government has granted permisbiou to all its soldiers who own twenty slaves or more, to return home to provide for the next Year's planting and crops, and to look out Nor the operation of the emancipation proclamation. The poorer soldiers, who have *lves and ehil-, dreo, a. d few or no slaves, at home, donitlike such a distinction, and it has created a great dell of feeliug among the "white trash," who make up five-sixths of the rebel arms'.— Thus while•partisans are denounci•ig and ridi culing the President's proclamation, it is weak- ening the military power of the rebollio9, and thus muting the final success of our arnie and the restoration of the Union.
